[Paraview] Animation with sudden large intervals between consecutive frames

2013-01-14 Thread Tom Fahner
Dear all, For some reason I noticed that ParaView has some large intervals between writing a PNG for consecutive frames of an animation. Normally there is about one minute between the timestamp of two PNGs, but sometimes there is suddendly a gap of 8 hours: 141K Jan 13 15:56

Tom, I wonder if caching is causing these issues. Are you using the ParaView GUI or a Python script? If the GUI, can you disable caching (uncheck Cache Geometry from the Animation page in the Settings dialog. Utkarsh On Mon, Jan 14, 2013 at 5:50 AM, Tom Fahner tom.fah...@gmail.com wrote: Dear

2013-01-14 Thread Stephan Rogge
Aashish, thanks for response. Could it make sense to add a flag to the geometry attribute for allow / disallow full screen mode? In this case the size definition should be useless, because the system resolution could be considered and the geometry attribute can be reduced to two values (X,Y).
